The initiative for organising the already traditional festival for deaf people was designed to present in a friendly and informal way the creativity of deaf people. The Theatre Festival for Deaf People features short theatrical performances, dance performances, and sign language performances of poetry. The participants in the festival are members of different Slovene associations for the deaf and the hearing impaired. The festival strengthens the connection among the deaf, maintains their identity, and at the same time presents an opportunity for the majority society – those who can hear – to learn about the linguistic and cultural particularities and the specifics of communication among deaf people.
